"Storage Wars" auctioneer Dan Dotson suffered a double brain aneurysm earlier this week and is in a Palm Springs hospital.

Dotson's wife and "Storage Wars" co-star Laura Dotson told TMZ her husband first showed symptoms around 1 a.m. Monday when he began "asking weird questions in his sleep." Later that morning, Dotson said he was not feeling well, experiencing double vision, and collapsed after taking a shower.

Laura told TMZ her husband suffered two aneurysms: one behind his eye and another in his neck "the size of an apricot." He had surgery Tuesday afternoon, and she said it was successful, although she added he has a long road to recovery ahead of him.
